Coupang Surges to 88th in Daily Rankings with $826 Million Trading Volume
On May 7, 2025, Coupang's trading volume reached $826 million, marking a 475.5% increase from the previous day. This surge placed Coupang at the 88th position in the daily stock market rankings. The company's stock price rose by 10.83%, marking the second consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 10.88% over the past two days.
Coupang's shares have shown strong performance compared to Amazon's in 2025, indicating significant growth potential for the South Korean e-commerce leader. The company's robust customer service and extensive distribution network have solidified its market leadership in Korea, despite challenges in profitability.
Coupang recently reported impressive first-quarter earnings for 2025, with revenues reaching $7.9 billion. However, the company fell short of market revenue expectations for the same period, with sales rising 11.2% year over year to $7.91 billion. Despite this, the company's core product commerce segment showed a 17% year-over-year growth in gross merchandise value and better-than-expected adjusted EBITDA.
Analysts from Bank of America Securities and Morgan Stanley have reiterated a Buy rating on Coupang's stock, with price targets of $30.00 and $27.00 respectively. The favorable operational environment for the second quarter, characterized by healthy top-line growth and stable user engagement, further supports the Buy rating. The company's strategic focus on profitability improvement, market share gains, and its unmatched capabilities in the grocery sector are pivotal in maintaining a positive outlook.
